Forget those extra 10 pounds. They aren’t going anywhere. So much easier to swear off a few flabby words.
Let’s start the new year off fresh and dump the comfy cliches once and for all. Some of the ones below always sucked; others have worn out their welcome like an incontinent grandma.
I say we pinky-swear not to use the following words when we blog, as of midnight, New Year’s Eve:
* asshat
* moonbat
* sweet
* MSM
* idiotarian
* heh
Add your own in the comments.
How about this deal: I’ll stop saying “conservatard” to refer to a Bush supporter, as soon as they stop using Bush as their President.
Actually I’ve never used the word before, but I’ve seen it used lots on other sites I look at. I’ve not used any of those nominated words, although I do spell out “Main stream media” from time to time, because MSM means nothing to 99% of english speaking people. Acronymns are supposed to save people time, not send them scurrying to Wikipedia to join the “in crowd” on the web.
Yeah, what’s with the volcanoe cam? Isn’t there a Canadian cam, like one in Saskatchewan to once and for all solve the mystery of how long you can see your dog run away for in Saskabush???
Listen to this. I on regular occasion visit the Rabble forum called babble. It is a moonbat forum for sure. When this blog entry (Charles Adler On Fire – http://www.conservativegroundswell.com/audiovideo/ProudToBeCanadian.ca_Adler_on_Line_12_07_05.wmv) was posted on ‘ http://www.proudtobecanadian.com ‘, I posted the link on several other blogs and forums, including babble. I thought it was a great example of good radio programming and they would enjoy listening to it as much as I did. There were 3 quick replies to my kind and considerate post and link. The first called Adler a loudmouth hack. The second reply called Adler an embarassment to loudmouth hacks. The third reply made no sense at all. When I tried to add another reply, I notice the thread was locked! Of course, since nobody was allowed to post a reply, the thread would very quickly drop out of sight, so it would never be heard. That�s not even the best part. I logged on to babble tonight, and it says I�ve been banned. BANNED! Banned from the �pulse of Canada�! I must admit, I�m a little shocked, but maybe I shouldn�t be. Here�s a copy of my e-mail to babble:
I have tried several times to access the babble forums and it keeps saying that I am not yet activated or I have been banned. I know that my account was activated, so it would appear I have been banned. I cannot think of anything I might have done to cause me to be banned, so would you be so kind as to check my account status at your end? Thank you. I look forward to participating on this blog again soon and engaging in what our national television network call�s �the pulse of Canada�. Thanks again. BTW, my screen name is Chazz. Any other information you may need from me, don�t hesitate to ask.
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks. Chazz
Adler is a bit of a loudmouth, but at least he’s sincere and I don’t think he’s anyone’s puppet. I guess the people at Babble just don’t know how to debate anything constructively, so they decided to just ban you. Welcome to the Interweb, where the weak get big heads when they are given Bannanation powers.
Definitely need to add “blogosphere” to that list.
